banish – Wicca Now – Everything You Need To Know About Wicca

Hi, my loves and welcome to WiccaNow. I’ve been sharing some of my top rituals recently, like this ritual to help heal a broken heart, an abundance drawing spell along with a spell to help you sleep, an anti-anxiety spell and one for home protection. Today I want to diverge slightly before I share my next spell. Today I want to talk about the best way to make a potent banishing oil. Why would you need a banishing oil, you ask? Well, you might want to use it for many reasons! Do you have anxiety that you’d like to get rid of? Do you feel as if negative energy has crept into your home? Banishing oils aren’t used to banish people. Please remember the Wiccan Rede and the Rule of Three here. We aren’t aiming to do anyone harm so the intention should never be to use this oil to banish a person. A banishing oil is used when you want to remove negative energies from your life and keep them from coming back. It will help you remove any energy that is impacting your emotional and mental wellbeing which in turn may be affecting your physical wellbeing. It also works as a protection charm, removing any malevolent hexes or jinxes that someone else may have used against you. The left is you vs negativity before using this oil, the right is you vs negativity when using this oil. Don't let the black energy get you down! General Advice for Making a Banishing Oil I like to let my oil steep for a week. You can leave yours as long as you like but at some stage, the lemon and chilli will start looking a little funky. I prefer to strain it before this happens. Careful when handling this oil. Chilli and peppercorns can cause skin irritations so I would avoid using this oil on your skin. I once doused a hand with a potent chilli oil accidentally and it burned for what seemed like hours. Take my advice and avoid this happening! If you do notice an irritation, remember that the heat-inducing part of chilli (Capsaicin) is NOT water-soluble. If you do notice burning, rub your hand with oil or better yet with alcohol as this removes the capsaicin very quickly. This oil is absolutely NOT meant to be taken internally. It's meant for spellwork and anointing only and shouldn’t be consumed. A banishing oil doesn’t have a contain a specific amount of ingredients. You can tailor this to contain whatever you like. This is my go-to banishing oil because I feel like I’m covering all my bases with these ingredients. There are protective herbs, cleansing herbs and boosting herbs.
